It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Chris Horder, affectionately known as Chuck LaFlange, who left us early this morning in Thailand after suffering a series of heart attacks. Chris was set to celebrate his second SoberVersary in just five days, a milestone that represented the tremendous strides he made in overcoming his past.
In recent years, Chris dedicated himself to the journey of recovery, finding purpose and healing through his podcast. This platform allowed him to connect with others grappling with addiction, providing them with hope and resources to embark on their own paths to recovery. Chris understood the vital need for families and loved ones to be heard and supported, and he was passionate about fostering those connections.
Each episode concluded with his heartfelt expressions of gratitude, emphasizing his belief that everyone deserves love and support. He would remind listeners, “You Are Loved,” a message that resonated deeply with him and became a lifeline during his darkest moments. It was a mantra I often shared with him, reinforcing that he was worthy of a better life.
While the future of the podcast remains uncertain, Chris would undoubtedly want his legacy to continue, with his message of love and support reaching those who need it most. Rest in peace, Chris; your light will shine on through the lives you touched.
